I know a lot of folks don’t like the Edelbrock carbs but I like them. Sure a properly prepared Quadrajet is a “better” carb as far as performance but after owning a few Edelbrocks they are easy to tune & stay in tune with minimal fuss. If you don’t know carbs it’s a good place to start IMO. Plus, with all of the information available here & Youtube as well as books you could learn how to run any carb out there.
